Decent bouldering guidebook for Los Angeles?

I'm doing a Horse Flats book.  Heard about the LA County guide book when I was already working on it.  Waiting to peep on that one to see if I should continue, or if the work I have done is worth it.

Thanks mike! It's worth it. 

I agree keep going. Urban Rock has been in print for 23 years. Hopefully it'll keep going.

FYI: The preorder for LA County Bouldering is up on the K Daniels Publishing website. They estimate a shipping date of Dec 18th.

Sorry man. I didn't see this message previously. As mentioned above presale is now on. Had to do a bunch of artwork fixes to meet some requirements but we're on the home stretch now.

Ordered mine. Never received a confirmation email, has anyone else? Seeing that shipping date is december, I'll assume I'll get one once the time comes. 

  Thank you all for putting this book together!

I ordered one about a week ago and got tracking info but USPS just shows that a label was created and the item not shipped yet.

Can you confirm that shipping date is delayed? Because if that's the case I need to change the shipping address. 

Got an email that said my was shipped!

Yeah, me too. But track shipping and mine, at least, doesn't show it having gone out. 

Guides are still expected to ship Dec 18. Tracking number is just provided in advance just to get the process started so that it can go out on time.

I emailed you and haven't heard back. You should make it clear on your website that orders are delayed. People move and plans change. If you ship my order in December to the address I gave you in October it's going to go missing. Will try contacting you via Paypal. 

I am not the publisher, only an author. It has been clearly communicated here that the link is for preorder, meaning the books are not ready to ship yet. When kmyee posted the link to order the book he posted then that the expected ship date is Dec 18.  Additionally on the publishers main page banner and the book description it says the guide doesn’t ship until Dec 18. This has not changed so it’s not been delayed past the original ship date communicated. If you supplied an incorrect address when you ordered the book I’d get with the publisher directly as it seems you are doing  

When I preordered mine the December ship date was very clear.

Ditto. No confusion.

First, congrats on finishing the book. It looks really cool. You might want to circle up with your publisher because if you look at the photo I'm about to paste below it says, "In Stock" which, combined with sending people a tracking number, tends to suggest that the book is ready to go out the door. Upon closer examination I can see that if you scroll down there's a little note that says the book will be ready in December, but I had to actually scroll the window and it's totally possible to do like I did and purchase the book under the belief that it's "in stock." Also, your publisher doesn't seem to respond to email.

Andrew, when I looked at the site today, it clearly said that it would ship in December.  Also, when I bought the Needles guide earlier this year and got a misprint, I called the publisher and Kevin answered the phone.  He sent a return shipping label along with a new copy, no questions asked.  Exemplarly customer service.

Thanks, Fat Dad. I'll try the phone since email didn't get a response.
